| Create the file 'wpa_supplicant.conf'... | |
| $ sudo nano /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf | |
| Put the following in ti: | |
| network={ | |
| ssid="your_wifi_name" | |
| psk="your_wifi_password" | |
| } | |
| Save, exit 'nano' and run 'ip a' to get your wlan interface name. In my case, is 'wlp2s0'. So, you can run... | |
| $ sudo ip link set wlp2s0 down | |
| $ sudo ip link set wlp2s0 up | |
| $ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dnl80211,wext | |
| $ sudo dhclient wlp2s0 | |
| Should work... maybe... :) | |
| After a reboot, just run: | |
| $ sudo wpa_supplicant -B -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf -Dnl80211,wext | |
| $ sudo dhclient wlp2s0 | |
